Miami Dolphins: Step back from the ledge and give new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll a chance

PrintI can't recall ever seeing such a negative overreaction before to anything like I am currently witnessing. Miami Dolphins fans are up in arms over the news that the Dolphins will hire former Browns offensive coordinator Brian Daboll as their new offensive coordinator - replacing the much maligned Dan Henning.
Fans on this site and other Dolphins blogs and message boards are acting as if this move is the end of the world. Worse yet, it's not just the fans overreacting - it's the other people who run these Miami Dolphin sites. I'm talking about people I very much respect for their knowledge of this team and this sport whining over Daboll's hiring like a bunch of babies.
Here's my message to all of you overreacting to the news that Daboll will become the team's offensive coordinator (once the contract is finalized, of course): either grow the hell up and give the man a chance or go find a new team to root for. Period.
I'm well aware of what the stats say. I know Cleveland's offense under Brian Daboll wasn't very good - ranking 29th in the league in yards per game. I'm aware that the Browns were one of only two teams to score fewer points than the Dolphins last year. But doesn't anyone realize that Cleveland actually has less talent than the Dolphins do offensively?
I'm actually slightly impressed by the fact that Daboll's offense in Cleveland last season averaged 5 yards per play - the same as the Dolphins. In fact, the Browns only scored two points fewer than the Dolphins last year over the entire season (273 to 271) and actually scored more offensive touchdowns (26 to 25) than Miami. And this is despite the fact that the team used three different quarterbacks, including a rookie for most of the season, and didn't have a receiver top 500 yards receiving.
Trivia question: can anybody name Cleveland's top wide receiver?
I know people probably don't want to hear endorsements of Daboll from guys like Brady Quinn or Chad Pennington - though Pennington's thoughts should carry some weight all things considered. But here's what I do know - people around the league consider Daboll an up and coming offensive mind and believe his greatest strength is developing a quarterback. And you have to be a bright guy to advance up the Bill Belichick coaching tree as quickly as Daboll has.
The biggest misconception many seem to have is that hiring Brian Daboll means more of the same offensively. They look at just his raw numbers and don't see how he could possibly offer anything different to this team. But that's just it - Daboll does bring a new offensive philosophy to the table.
On NFL Network yesterday, Michael Lombardi said that Daboll actually wants to use elements of the spread offense in Miami - which makes a lot sense. The man spent years in New England as the receivers coach along side guys like Charlie Weis and Josh McDaniels. In Cleveland, though, that kind of offense really wasn't possible because of the personnel he had to deal with.
But here's your proof that this Dolphins offense is going to look different in 2011 under Brian Daboll than it has the past three years with Dan Henning running the unit. Last season, the Dolphins used four wide receivers on only 20% of their quarterbacks' drop-backs. The Browns, meanwhile, used four receiver sets on 41% of their quarterbacks' drop-backs.
This is despite having receivers like Chansi Stuckey, Mohamed Massaquoi, and Brian Robiskie to work with. Just imagine what those spread formations Daboll wants to run could look like with the addition of a speed receiver to go with Brandon Marshall, Davone Bess, and Brian Hartline.
Fans clamored all season that Henning was too conservative. They complained about hardly ever going with four receivers and spreading the field. Well all of you are now getting exactly what you want - a guy running the offense who used four receiver sets on over 40% of their passing plays. This is a good thing, people. A good thing.
Of course, we do now have to consider the possible addition of a quarterback or two who have experience playing in a spread-like offense - from a veteran guy like Kyle Orton to potential draft picks like Blaine Gabbert.
If anything, Dolphins fans should actually be slightly excited over this hiring. Bringing aboard somebody who is fascinating by the basic principles of the spread offense and who wants to incorporate some of these things into Miami's offense should actually give us all hope that things are changing for the better down in South Florida.
I'm on board with this hiring. I think it has a chance to dynamically change Miami's offense. The next step, of course, is finding the right personnel to fill in the missing pieces. For now, though, this hiring has done to me what it should be doing to all of you: it's reinvigorated me for some Dolphins football.

Daboll changes his offense to suit the type of talent. Not blame the talent for not being able to execute his scheme.

Let’s all put down the sharp objects, back away from the ledge, and see how things go in 2011. If the offense doesn’t improve, as I mentioned in a post yesterday, then this dude will join Sparano and Ireland on the unemployment line, and Ross will bring someone else in for 2012 (Cowher/Gruden).

I am not upset about the hiring
I am upset about the OC’s we left on the table.
I am willing to give Daboll a shot. I do not think it was the right choice but oh well.

Aside from McDaniels, there was no one that I was excited about, and that was hoping that they would be able to work things out with Brandon Marshall and Mike Nolan.

I liked that Rob dude from SD
but it seems he’s headed to NC anyways so this hire excites me. I don’t want McDaniels anywhere near this team so no I don’t consider ‘leaving him on the table’. Welcome Mr. Daboll have your way with our shitty offense.
Chud, I believe would have gladly come to Miami had he been offered the job.

Ramsdell, but both Daboll and him are QB experts, so
not to much of a difference, IMO, but Ramsdell is more proven.

as I have been praying for an OC who has been around a highly successful high power Offense and NEs is about as solid,creative and high powered as it gets IMO.
What are our Offensive stats in those 20% of plays Matty or do you know where I can look for myself?

My first thought was WHO?
But then after hearing more about this guy I am a little bit excited. Think about this. We went from a 68 year old OC to a 35 yr old OC. This guy wants to run a 5 WR set? AWESOME. Going from 2 WRs to 5 would have made even Henne a better QB last year.
If we go with the logic of what a coach did last, the Patriots should not have hired Belichick as head coach. Before coaching New England to 3 Super Bowl wins and 8 playoff appearances in 11 years, he coached the Browns to a 36–44 record. His team finished 5-11 his last year as head coach. Yet the Patriots went out and got this guy. I think all things considered they made a good choice in hiring him even if they had to give up a 1st round pick in 2000 to get him.
Stop looking at what Daboll did in Cleveland. What we have is a 35 year old coach who has worked under, Bill Belichick, Charlie Weiss, and Nick Saban. We have a guy with new ideas, and frankly we have a guy that will not be running an offense that has been around since 1968. To say that he had less talent than we do would be an understatement. He took a RB that was the icing on the cake in a deal to get a 6th round pick for Brady Quinn and doing what they did with him… awesome.

Obviously this guy has good ideas, and a good strategy for the Dolphins
He must have impressed Sparano (& Ireland) enough to get the shot. So for now, I’m 100% behind him. Let’s see what he can do…although the thoughts of a spread offense in Miami has me a little pumped…you have to think that our receiving corps has to like what they are hearing too. New team, new players…you never know what can happen.

We have all been there. Matty does great work for the most part so while I do not alway
agree with everything that he says I can let this one slide. I sort of know what he means. I get tired of people acting like every move that the team makes that they do not 100% endorse is the end of their little world. Every time I hear one of these fools say “I am done!” I just wish to God they would actually do what they say and go away for good. Seriously leave and do the rest of us a favor.

Totally agree
I’m a diehard Dolphins fan and was very disappointed with this season. I am not going to sit here and be all happy because someone tells me to be happy. I’m not a yes man and never will be. And honestly I’m not happy they hired this guy. That doesn’t mean he won’t turn out to be a great OC for our team but there was no other news that they even interviewed anyone else. Where’s the news what happened with Childres or others for that matter? And to respond to a previous point, we shouldn’t look at his record with the Browns? Umm why? Don’t you hire people on their track record? Boy if we don’t then why isn’t Rich Kotite’s name surfacing? Point is, I’m not going to be pumped about this season until I see a promising QB in place and this OC is actually putting points on the board. Other than that, so far its a wait and see. But sure am tired of these let down seasons.
Just because Childress' name is more recognizable,
that doesn’t make him the better option. People need to start realizing this.

Good point
and I agree but he does have a good resume as an OC, just not as a HC. Which is the same for alot of OC’s such as, Norv Turner. On the other hand we have someone that gets the nod who most of us didn’t know they were even involved in football. Also, if he was so great and an ‘up and coming talent’, like we are being told to believe, why did the Browns let him go? Maybe other people are ok with having these wasted seasons but it upsets me because we have had so many shots at HC’s, QB’s, etc and we pass on them. Then we keep people like Henning because he has been around the game for 100 years and is buddies with Parcells, Sparano, Ireland. We all know about the buddy system and how that turns out (Wannstedt). So that’s my concern, is this Ross or Sparano/Ireland bringing in another buddy of theirs? Like I said before, its a wait and see season. But its hard to get excited when we have had so many letdown seasons since Shula/Marino left. I’m not expecting their replacements but just people that use common sense. If the Lions can put more points on the board than we can, there’s a problem.
The Browns fired the entire coaching staff.
It wasn’t just the OC that was let go. I understand trepidations about hiring a former Browns OC, I have them too, but I also know there were different circumstances to his situation so I’m in “wait & see” mode.

He is talented but...
he would be our 4th receiver. I am married to a Browns fan and I see a lot of their games (when the Dolphins aren’t on at the same time). He is young and talented but not as good as our top 3.
as for the hiring I agree with you matty
he isnt the candidate many fans think he is.

Sounds like Cleveland is headed in the right direction
and sadly the Dolphins are headed in the wrong direction.
This guy sounds like a Choad – why do we need to be so damned cheery all the time to make you happy? I was hoping for somebody with a good football acumen to go along with our HC who has limited experience and coaching ability. This guy sounds like a below average coach at each of his stops – maybe his dad was a coach or something.
And a point must be made – Please don’t ever write Marshall, Bess and Hartline in an article pretending that they are good WR’s! They are average to below average as a group – period.

didnt 2 of miami’s 3 recievers have 60 or 70 catches? i dont know if id call that below average, atleast mediocre, lol

here's the numbers
Bess – 79 rec
Marshall – 86 rec

averagin 80 receptions with you #1 and #2 recievers is actually pretty good. how many other teams have two 80 catch recievers? the more i think about, the more your statement is just assinine

here's the numbers
Bess – 5 TD’s
Marshall – 3 TD’s
Hartline – 1 TD
Receivers need to do more than catch underneath check-down passes (granted at a prolific pace). They need to get open, get open deep and they need to score touchdowns.
The dolphin offense was pathetic this year due in large part to pathetic play out of the WR position. I like Bess as much as the next Dolphin fan – but i’m also willing to accept the fact that he is nothing more than an average receiver with some good hands and a big heart. The Miami Dolphin “Group” of receivers was NOT good this year.
by Don't hate on Yeremiah on Jan 18, 2011 8:49 AM EST up reply actions
Their numbers
Are pretty good considering who they had throwing to them most of the year. The QB is the WR biggest friend (just check with Larry Fitzgerald if you question this). IF you have a QB that is as inaccurate as Henne was at times and you are having to contort yourself in different ways just to make a catch nevermind trying to get more yards after the catch, if he is missing you when you are open or not taking shots when their are clear mismatches you would be damn lucky to do half as good as our guys did. Give them a good QB and their numbers including Fasano’s would have been great. Our recievers helped Henne stay closer to average then he helped them with anything.
by LordBishop34 on Jan 18, 2011 10:26 AM EST up reply actions
Good point
The QB and an improved OL will make the WR’s much better. I still contend that our WR’s did not do a good job of opening up the field by getting open. Perhaps because we have three average speed guys.
I’m hopeful that they can improve because like them or not we’re stuck with BM and DB for the next 3 years.

a lot of their troubles getting open are due to Henning.

henne overthrew touchdowns this season this is the f*cking nfl you dont get that many chances to score on the big play. they get open deep (more then once) and you overthrow them? its not a situation that we can just overlook. and my second point…
in the NFL you also have to do somethign henne does not do.
THROW PEOPLE OPEN.
this si a concept that henne doesnt and will not understand. you cant “sit and wait for people to get open” you have to anticipate the throw and the place where the defender will be unable to make a play. watch the playoffs and you will see alot fo passes that are into coverage bu tnot into actual coverage because of the placement of the ball. this cant be done with henne at the helm. i feel like im getting a vibe from Matty that hes getting back onto the broken down Henne bandwagon. Hes done wild innaccuracy overthrows and especially his INTS in huge situations. its over. bring in someone new.

It was a combination of everything – conservative play calling, terrible QB play and slow WRs. I know Henne F up a lot but other times I saw him just sitting waiting for guys to get open and they just could’nt. Look at all the teams that are in the Campionship games this year, all their WRs and TEs have a lot more speed then the Dolphins do and that is one of the main reasons we are not good.
Your right on the money, the Dolphis were one of the slowest teams as far as WRs TEs and RBs. Specially at WR, Marshall is good but not a burner, and Bess is one of the best slot guys in the NFL, but hes not a legit #2 WR at all! I like Hartline but he should be our # 4 WR. Still need to draft a guy like a Greg Jenning with speed to be the 1 or 2 Rec. and draft some quick TEs and RBs, cuase we need to save the free agency money for the offensive line, because as a unit they wer’nt very good either.
you know this is the point that Dan Henning himself made on multiple occasions lol.
but yea i agree entirely with you.

then miami needs to steal B. Edwards or S. Holmes after the season. and nab a RB who can catch out of the back field. maybe R. Bush or L.

Vernon really did struggle.
His poor vision and susceptibility to speed rushers became unbearable by the time he went down for the year. I think his weight and muscle tone is also a concern but what do i know. For someone so vital to our offense to play so inconsistantly on such a consistant basis if that makes any sense, is really not good. And there is alot of not so good tape on him from 2010. So thats a concern. I also dont agree with what some people have said as far as moving John Jerry to tackle. But i wont get into that. lol

The pass protection broke down in the 2nd half of the year,
not the first half. I am well aware of Carey’s struggles, especially since I wanted to draft a replacement for him in 2009 when everybody else was claiming he did well but it was clear he was slipping. Everybody wants to wait until the position is a problem before they draft, rather than anticipating the problem. I also said a RB should be a high priority last year, looks like I was right on both accounts.
I’m not upset with the all defensive draft because our defense is now shored up for a couple years at least, but anticipation is important.
But back to the main argument, Henne had a ton of time to throw in the first half of the season. Whether it was all max protect or not could be argued, but this board was on fire with how great our O-Line was in pass protection. How quickly we forget.

I think this is a great chance for Miami to reinvent their offense...
Daboll originally joined the Patriots in February of 2000 when he was named a defensive coaching assistant. Daboll held that role for two seasons and was primarily responsible for preparing film breakdowns for each upcoming opponent, including comprehensive opponent scouting charts for Coach Belichick and the defensive coaches. The preparation and study of opponent offensive game tendencies during his first two seasons with the Patriots provided unique training for his first positional responsibilities in 2002.
www.patriots.com
That’s just on the defensive side. Not to mention the increase in production by his receivers through his tenure in New England when he was a Receiver’s Coach. You guys who aren’t ready to give Daboll a chance in Miami are dumber than a bag of hammers!

WOW, There must have been a lot of competition for this guy!!!
I understand my high schools flag football team was bidding for him but lost out to the Dolphins! Here is a GLOWING assessment of Daboll from Bleacher Report!!
NFL Photos/Getty Images Arrogance and incompetence are the two words I’d use to describe Offensive Coordinator Brian Daboll and his offensive staff.
Daboll and Co. came with Eric Mangini from New England via New York.
Within an hour of Mangini being fired, word began leaking out to the press that Daboll did not want to listen to any offensive advice they tried to give him.
Given the Browns lack of touchdowns the last two years, inability to adapt to in-game situations and lack of overall imagination, the very first move Shurmur must make is to fire every single coach on the offensive side and start from scratch.
Team President Mike Holmgren has left the fate of the staff up to the new coach, so this should be decision No. 1.
who is this bleacherreport you speak of?
and what validity does it bring to the conversation?

Bleacher report is the inquirer of sports websites. Give it a break. This guy took "COLT MCCOY"...
and made him decent. That is all that needs to be said. No o-line and Peyton Hillis and he scored more offensive touchdowns than the Phins. I think he’s gonna be better than Henning and that’s what I want. I want a spread offense. I want an offensive philosophy that’s in the 21st century. That’s what this kid brings to the table.

I don’t care what his track record is thus far, quite frankly. It’s not like he had any weapons to work with in Cleveland. And Cleveland beat us, so let’s hold off on bludgeoning that team too bad.
The thing I like most about Daboll is that he’s 35 years old. For the past two seasons its been Henning’s old, out-dated offense that we’ve complained about. It might be a stupid basis for optimism, but I like the introduction of young blood.

I was pissed at first. It it nice knowing he already has 3 sb rings. If he does bring some spread offense then it opens up our ability to draft more qb’s since it seems thats a lot of what they seem to run now a days in college.
Wonder if they will take a jab at vince young. Not saying it will work, cant hurt tho.
Very convincing post Matty. But I'm still going to wait and see what the Fins do the rest of the offseason before I buy my season tickets.
QB is still the biggest need. If they draft a Cam Newton, Jake Locker, or even Blaine Gabbert, I’ll feel a whole lot better about this teams future.

I'm on board because as fans what choice do we have? After 40 years I am sure as
hell not going to abandon my team. I know not all of us are happy with Ross, Ireland and Sparano but they at their worst still know more about the game than any of us ever will. Besides I have to assume that Sparano would not bring anyone in that he was not 100% sure would get the job done. He knows without a doubt now that his job is riding on it and the success of the offense going forward.

and thats the deal. If we as a team have faith in Tony and Jeff which we have to have to retain them then their judgement has to accepted. I think the anger for the move though from fans stems from two reasons 1. is that i think many fans were really surprised by the move. lets be frank Brian Daboll isnt the “flashy” pick. And that isnt this mangements style. That i think many feel as though the offense needs a “facelift” and we made a move that doesnt instantly spell complete offensive transition and 2. that many personnel moves that surprised fans havent worked out under this mangement. this season i think of cutting Charlie Anderson and the tinkering on the interior of the O line and revamping of the TE position. these moves took people by surprise. this is where i think the majority of the distaste comes from as far as Brian Daboll. But i agree with you 100 percent.

i'm glad this decision is made & we can move on. everyone on the list was an upgrade & I am A-OK employing Belichick disciples.
chl all that and a dime sack, where the paper at?
I'm tired of people telling me to be optimistic!
I stand behind the Dolphins 100%. I will continue to watch all of their games and follow the team all off-season but that doesn’t mean that I have to like every move they make. I came into last season with hopes of being a wild-card contender. I love the moves for Marshall and Dansby. I liked how they pursued Ryan Clark (I wish we landed this guy). I had hope for Henne and Sparano. Things turned badly and have only continued to get worse. First of all I don’t care what age Daboll is. Age doesn’t matter in football coaches. Secondly, everyone is excited with the fact that he is from Belicheck’s tree. Where did Belicheck come from? Parcells tree. Where did Sparano come from? Oh. Parcells tree. I have a few friends that are die-hard Browns fans. They told me how the ran their offense. It was run, run, run. He did not expand the field at all. Bottom line I will give the guy a shot but I do not need to be excited about us hiring him. I think people have the right to question it. Our owner promised us a change in direction. I am not sure Daboll will bring much change.

That's interesting,
because I bet he’d say the same thing about the Belichek of the past. “He’s no Parcells, just look at how badly he stunk it up in Cleveland!” Terrible.

I'm also willing to bet Belichick didn't become a great football mind.....
Until after he learned a thing or two during his tenure in Cleveland.
Problem is people need to stop reading so much into the whole coaching tree deal. Just because a guy was on one good coaches staff does not mean he will become a good coach elsewhere.
I used to think I had a drinking problem.
So I stopped thinking.
I'm not saying anything about the coaching tree,
my point is you cannot judge anybody that comes out of Cleveland where there is terrible ownership which does not allow for coaching success.

Bad ownership doesn't have to condemn a coach to failure.
It would actually speak volumes of a coach who found even a mild bit of success on a team being hindered by ownership. Good drafting and coaching always trump poor ownership every time.
I used to think I had a drinking problem.
So I stopped thinking.
I agree but there have been examples where coaches from a particular tree
have all seemed to have a certain level of success. Unfortunately this is not always true of those from the Bilichick tree.

But realistically we've only heard really about two different coaching staffs.
Walsh’s staff in the 80’s and Parcell’s staff in the 80’s/90’s.
No one mentions Gibb’s staff of the 80’s, Levy’s staff of the early 90’s, or even Johnson’s staff of the 90’s. Their trees don’t get any mention at all. Johnson’s was the only one that got some attention, but with successive failures by Wannstedt and Turner people are quickly forgetting it.
I used to think I had a drinking problem.
So I stopped thinking.
I agree but the tree thing goes back to the 50's and 60's. Eventually there will be another to come along with success.

I have been a fan since 1973 when I moved to south Fl.
I have been through the good , bad and the ugly, I beliieve in this team and wait for the glory days to come around. We all wanted a new OC, well we have one now, so lets give the man a chance to show what he can do. I’ve read he does wonders for QB’s and I believe with the right coach Henne will be the QB we all want him to be.
So now we can say what's on our mind
What did you expect the fins reaction to be to hiring an offensive coordinator with a lower rated offensive than the fins pathetic offensive? Yes, it is possible he might work out if we get a good QB. After all, everybody and his aunt knows that the fins main problem is have no quarterback. Granted no OC will be worth a shit if we don’t get a decent QB. That being said, will the fins actually have enough balls to draft a first round QB? You have to remember this is a team that quit on a coach who receive a contract extention. An organization that retained Ireland, the main reason they keep drafting crap. So realistically, who the hell would want to be the OC for this team? I’m willing to give the guy a chance, but if he was hired to try to make Henne a good QB then it more of the same ole, same ole. I take issue with these idiot fans who keep telling fans who post legitimate gripes about the shortcomings of the fins to find another team to root for. That’s saying that we have to like the asinine decisions and personal the fins keep using over and over. Grow up. We all want the fins to do good. We just get tired of bad decisions repeated year after year.
I suppose Matty expects Miami fans to be smarter than your average fan
and would check things like how many QBs did they go through during the course of the year,was it their 1st year in the system,how much experience did they have at the position,how many sacks/pressures/hurries did the OL allow,did the OL open holes for the running game,what receivers did he have to work with and what were their strengths/weaknesses,did he get the best out of what he had to work with etc.etc. .
I would be really concerned if Daboll had a lot of talent to work with and still sucked but when your TE and RB are your leading receivers I have to really wonder if he didn’t make Chicken Salad out of Chicken shit while in Cleveland.

Being passionate about something.....
should entail a healthy dose of criticism.
Otherwise, you are either simple in the head or you care much less than you claim to.
Many of the so-called “negative” posts made the very astute point that Daboll is at best unproven and at worst (as the numbers indicate) unimpressive.
It isnt often in this league that a team vocalizes their determination to revolutionize their offense and then proceeds to hire a replacement OC with worse numbers than the one they already had under contract.
You call it negative, I call it the $#@^ing facts!!!
So tired of the “you’re with us or against us” mentality that so often crops up here.

In 2009 yes.
But in 2008 he was their leading rusher as he was primarily used as a HB due to injuries.
He was moved back to a primary fullback with the addition of Knowshon Moreno, and because he’s not a very good FB (lead blocker). He became expendable.

Hey Matty I,
what do u think is going to happen with Henne now? You said that this guy is good at developing quarterbacks and Henne came from Michigian which ran a spread offense mostly. What do you think is going to happen with him?
I believe that Rich Rod brought the spread offense with him in 2008, the year we drafted Henne
I think that Lloyd Carr ran a more pro-style offense with Henne as his QB

A couple of points to be considered!
1) His head look like Henne’s so maybe he will slide in as QB
2) He got fired from CLEVELAND!!@`
3) As far as I know, He isn’t on anyones hot list of up and coming studs!!
i didn't understand this hire at first
But the more you think about it, the more it seems genius. We just nabbed a guy that has knowledge on personnel and defensive tendencies on every team we must beat to get to the SB.
The guy had to play against the Steelers and Baltimore twice a year. He is just a couple years removed from preparing for the Pats, Bills and US! Seems liked that helped the Browns against the Pats and us this past year.
This guy has to have a ton of knowledge of what are biggest competition tries to do,and more importantly what they are capable doing on defense.
Forget the numbers, look at what the guy did with inferior talent against superior defenses
Final point on this hire. Offenses make the QB in most cases not the other way around.
Henne might end up being able to slide right into this new system and we’ll see improvement. Either way we’re in the 21st century as far as offensive philosophies. I just really want to see this draft focusing on the scoring side of the ball. New QB, new RB, and some pass blocking linemen. I’m actually ready to stand pat with the WR’s we currently have. But we need a good zippy RB to be a safety valve out of the backfield. Or a back that can leave the backfield and line up as a receiver to muck of defensive assignments. If Andrew Dalton is there in the third take him.

None of this matters if they do not solidify their interior O-Line, however, if you do not like the hire...
Stand by your opinions. I think this guy is going to suck, why? Look at his record. Cleveland had no offense! respect Matty, but I have to go with my gut, I think that 2011 is going to be a piss poor year with little improvement on the dinosaur that just retired! Be pissed, you are the consumer and have that right! That being said, I will gladly admit that I was wrong should the Dolphins suddenly become a powerhouse on offense. In fact, I Hope that I am wrong. Whether you are feigning over-optimism, or voicing significant anger, you are on the same boat of dissatisfaction. The fact is the coaching staff had to change because of sub-par performance and that doesn’t sit well with anyone.
2010 was like rubbing out an easy one with steel wool and crest toothpaste. . .PAINFUL!
Soon the Matty's will be happening and I will not even get a mention! However, I bring the highest level of conversation to this site...WTF?
Here's my beef
Not that we shouldn’t give this guy a shot.. but when you are rebuilding a team, how many times can you continue to bring in “relative unknowns” to coach your team.
Who had heard of Sparano before the Tuna brought him in?
We brought in a proven DC last year with Nolan, and you saw the results.
To the average fan, it feels like we’re collecting the flotsam and jetsam of lesser teams.
I want to see us build a team with a true identity and not be just a collection of castoffs from the Dallas Cowboys.
So, Mr. Daboll, here’s your shot. You got a draft coming up where Offense can clearly be the top priority. Mr. Ross says he’s committed to throwing money around and getting this team to win.
I wish you the best of success next year, but you better as heck show us something to give us the glimmer of hope that’s been missing since 2008.

thats a very thoughtful way to look at it.
we are just all frustrated. And as fans we should be. I think everyone knows Tonys fire and heart and determination. there are a lot of things to love about him and he is a student of the game and has an unrelenting desire to win. Those are things we all like in him. What fans have become frustrated with i think is mostly the perceived difficulty with personnel moves especially starting in the 09 offseason.

Someone here said it yesterday
Its just a nobody hire that Sparano can shape into a terd cuz thats what he does with everything he touches. I personally wouldnt have minded a no name move but we still got the same douchebag drivin the bus over the cliff. Sorry Im not as happy as Matty and his internet posse here but a move like this will only put us further away from our goal.You wanna make a move Ross? try hiring an up & coming HC not someone whos gonna spend all his time giving Sparano oral satisfaction, so once again sorry if Im not as giddy as all you lifer dolfans but moves like this is what makes the JETS look like genuises.
To call him a douchebag is a blatant oversite to his character as a man.
And thus causes you to lose all credibility and makes you look more like the colorful term you chose than it does Sparano.

Timeframe.....
Matty, I think alot of people have their hate on because of the drought in Miami since…….1973!!!!!!!!!!! As I’ve said before, Miami used to dominate this division and it’s long overdue for this to be the case again……..Mr. Daboll is on a VERY short leash timeline wise……As has been noted by others on this blog, Miami has no choice but to copy what both the Jets and Pats have done. Football is a game of emotion, and to that end, it would be great to see Miami play with anger and a HUGE chip on its shoulder this coming season, if we have a season….Even during the Marino years, we never landed a Lombardi trophy back in Miami albeit, for obvious reasons. The fans in Miami rightfully expect drastically improved results THIS season……..Let’s see what he can do……
i think this mangement is on a timeframe as far as a success goes as a whole.

is that the people over at Dawgs by Nature (Browns blog) are saying that we are dumb for hiring Daboll and that he sucks completely, yet they are getting excited about possibly hiring Wannstedt as their new OC.

Why so high on Chud though?
He ran the Browns offense before Daboll and did worse with better players. And he most recently coached TEs in San Diego, coaching one of the best TEs ever must be tough. Not saying he will suck as an OC, but his background isn’t necessarily better than Daboll. In fact I’d prefer the guy that Belicheck thought enough of to make a WR Coach at a young age and learned from Weis and McDaniels.

I’m just curious because his background is no better than Daboll. But the way people are talking it’s like we passed on offensive geniuses.
there's no reason to be excited about this signing
Other than we don’t have henning running the o. What and how this guy will do is anyone’s guess. You say he’s respected by the league, but he was let go from one of it’s worst teams. So it’s just wait and see on this guy. There is nothing we can do about it except birch if we don’t like it. Fans don’t have to support personnel moves made by a team. But they have to live with it. We’ll see in time how this goes. But I am secpital of this move.

Mike Leach is not ready for the pros. Not his scheme or his insanity and I am a guy that likes him.

I'm not even
sure its worth rooting for them anymore. It seems as if they’re actually TRYING to become worse. You don’t hire the OC off of a team which is one of like 3 that have a worse offense than you. That’s fucking ridiculous…
Apparently you didn't read this post earlier....

I'm sorry..
But there isn’t anyone on this board who hasn’t questioned MULTIPLE moves by this team the last few years. They spent a 1st round pick on a fucking kick returner passing on many players who are now becoming stars on other teams. They then “earn” the number one pick in the draft. And now we’ve seen more coaching changes than the Friggin Raiders in the last few years. They need to fucking make a decision to either join the rest of the league in striving for success or fucking fold up shop and play golf. Its god damn ridiculous that we’re hoping for 500 next year to improve upon this year. 95% haven’t been alive for a time when they were real SB contenders…
Are you serious?

how is that a problem to you? So should we have kept Paul Pasqualoni as DC? Was Nolan not a benefit to this team? How many games would we have won this year without our defense? Not many, if you ask me.
You are overreacting. I understand being upset by our decade long dryspell, but to say you are going to root for another team is just being melodramatic. You know it’s not going to happen, I know it’s not going to happen and, deep down, everybody else knows it’s not going to happen. You are a fan. Fans don’t jump ship. It is, however, quite annoying to hear someone say “O-M-G I’m going to root for someone else because this FO is personally spiting me!” Lay off the melodrama and we welcome you into the realm of serious discussion.

I was alive...so I'm old, and just to clarify:
I am not disagreeing with you about this, because I’m sure as h*ll one of them:
there isn’t anyone on this board who hasn’t questioned MULTIPLE moves by this team the last few years
However, you saying you’d go root for somebody else/not sure if they’re worth rooting for is ludicrous, IMHO. To me, that tells me you’re a fair-weather fan – and I’ve seen a bunch in my day. I’ve seen them on this site, too, only showing up and posting when things are all peaches and cream, and then posting something like you posted a little bit ago when things get ugly. A true fan sticks by his team no matter what…if they go 1-15 for the next 10 seasons, I’m still a Miami Dolphins fan. I always have been, and I always will be.
So, good luck in your decision – the choice is yours.

As for Ryan Mallett, I really like him alot, and i disagree about the Sugar Bowl, I thought he really played a good game. He made some amazing throws under serious pressure, but was victimized by poor blocking and drops. He wont fall to 15 though, we will have to trade up if we want him.

I think Jake Locker is more similar a quarterback to Henne than Mallett, Henne has a tighter spiral and Jake has more mobility but outside of that i see alot of similarties.

Honestly, I personally think
that both Mallett and Locker are too much like Henne, Mallett in particular. That’s why I’ve stayed on the Blaine Gabbert bandwagon. Of course, that is just my own personal opinion and maybe has something to do with the fact that I’ve lived just outside St. Louis all my life and Mizzou and Illinois are both hugely popular around here.

Its hard enough
to be a fan without having it seem like they aren’t even trying to get better. You’re implying that we should blindly follow the team regardless of how many bad moves they’ve made in the past. I disagree. A team is worth rooting for to the extent they show an intent and desire to win games. I think this team has started to show that they don’t put the same weight into finding a way to win rather than building a team just to have one. I mean really to put a danceclub into a football stadium is a great example of this. What I’m trying to say is that if this team continues to move itself forward then I think we should continue to provide them with support. To the extent they start making completely assinine decisions which seem counter to their supposed goal of winning than I think we should all be re-evaluating whether they deserve our support.
I respectfully disagree with most of your post
If it was the same ol’, same ol’, they wouldn’t have fired Paul P as the DC before this season, nor hired Nolan. They wouldn’t have fired Henning (oh, he “retired,” allegedly) and replaced him. They wouldn’t have fired the ST coach (and the guy in there now will be gone shortly too, IMO). They wouldn’t have went out and spent millions of dollars getting Dansby and B. Marshall to improve both sides of the ball. Would you agree that these moves were intended to improve the team?
These moves, to me, show the desire to win games. They show me that the team is willing to bring in players/coaches that THEY believe have what it takes to make the franchise better. You and I are not under employment by the Miami Dolphins’ Scouting Department, Owner, General Manager or Player Personnel Department. We can believe what we want, but they’re paid to know more than we do. Call me a realist if you will, but I’ll take their word for decisions made that will make the team better.

I've posted after ever loss and win this year I believe.
And since I found the site for that matter. As someone who doesn’t get to watch many games living in rival terrority with the worst blackout rules known to man I have to live with that. I got into Giants stadium to watch the fins every year. I deal with wearing the teal and orange in that environment (which is worse because the fins normally win in NJ). But I don’t like the idea of blindly following a careening train when most of us on here know in our hearts that they are making ludicrously idiotic moves a lot of the time.
I know Giants stadium...I've been there as well during Dolphins games

Does anyone in the world see this happening next year? really? We’re going to blow the doors off with Henne and Daboll running the offense? Really? They were a great defense this year but as we learned earlier this decade a great defense can get you nowhere without an offense to back it up.

I do think he only had 2 tackles in that game though. Just saying.
Ho hum, who cares, how is this exiting,
the best thing you can say about him is that he’s done nothing with nothing, he has no success as an OC, but he had no players, so he’s done nothing with nothing.
He won’t do much better here unless the QB and O line play get better.

I'm with you finster.
I keep hearing he is good at developing QB’s. I guess I don’t know much about him but what QB’s has he developed?? Matt Cassel??
I also keep hearing he had a bunch of no talents. McDaniels had no talents too, how’d that turn out? His offense looked pretty good with a pedestrian QB and Brandon Lloyd as a #1 receiver. Both of whom petered out with the Bears.
Good coaches take no talents and make them respectable at least. That my friends Daboll did not do!!!!
QUIT making excuses for a mediocre coach. I can be a fan without following my teams front office blindly!!!
LISTEN UP PLEEEEEASE!
People Your missing the point. The only way any OC is going to succeed is if he has 3 things QB, O-line and WEAPOOOOOONS! Look at the teams in the Championship Games, What do they have besides good QB, good O-lines and good D? WEAPONS! thats what. This OC wiil be fine as long as he has weapons with speed. Untill the Dolpins fix the interior O-line and add speed at WR, TE n RB – YOU COULD BRING IN ANY QB AND O.C. YOU WANT AND STILL NOT BE VERY GOOD!!! Go out and get Phillip Rivers in 2012 and draft a QB at the same time.
Ho Hum
O.K. Daboll sucks less than Henning. This is typical of Dolphin’s ownership; a day late and a dollar shot. Maybe The Rolling Stones will become part owners and perform at halftime…..
Yeah,
because Nolan simply sucks less than PP. Oh wait, he transformed our defense into a dominant force… Our ownership hasn’t had enough time in control to have any attribute considered “typical”.

We have much bigger problems then who the OC is
If Sparano says be agessive then the OC will be agressive, its simple. Now since the Doplphins did’nt take Dez Bryant last year, they do not have the luxury of taking a QB in the 2011 draft, who is a wait n lets see type player. They need speed at WR and the other skilled positions now! This OC will be fine
since when is a QB a luxury???

Move closer to the edge and say goodbye to your families.
the dolphins are absolutely effed.
We now have the Browns Offensive Coordinator. Seriously, the Browns? Often times we would say the Browns were one fo the only teams to have a worse offense then the Dolphins. Are we sure the Panthers OC wasn’t available?
I’m done with the opptomistic BS. Obviously this team isn’t going anywhere anytime soon and Brandon Marshall is going to be a major problem when we start losing. Prepare for disaster (and I am a huge Brandon Marshall supporter but I know whats going to happen)
PS- I would take Massaquaio or Cribbs over Brian Hartline. (i know I spelled that dudes name wrong).
I hope everyone is really looking forward to a successful season with a crap QB, no RBs, a pourous Oline and a OC that just made a lateral move from the Clevland Browns. I am really looking forward to the future, 2011 is going to be great.

Also DRoyce I in no way mean this as a shot but I have zero idea why you still follow this team
at all? You are negative about everything to do with this team right down to the fans. Honestly I do not understand or get it and I doubt many others around here do.

the funny part is
how do you remain positive lol?
When I tell people I root for the Dolphins do you know what they say?
I am sorry, they are dreadful Someone just said this to me 5 mins ago.
PS- I root for the Giants also or I would have prob killed myself because of how awful the Miami Dolphins are EVERY SINGLE YEAR. I also play fantasy football and it distracts me from how pathetic an inadequate the dolphins are every single year. and the one year they one the division recently do you know what happened? They got absolutely slaughtered at home in the playoffs. What else is new? A loss at home, I can’t believe it. So while Ross is more concerned about getting more celebrities into ownership and giving Jim HArbaugh Rimjobs in cali while simutaneously offering Sparano an extention I will be thinking about how a real football team should be run. With pride, smarts and talent.
Sorry I had to vent.

of the games way back in the 70’s vs. some kid from NY.
As far as what other NYers have to say about the Phins I honestly could give a shit.

yeah...
I guess your right.
I was about to say ef it with this awful media driven Enrique Eglisis music playing , jenny from the block team but then they obtained one of my favorite players in the NFL in Brandon Marshall and it really made me think this team was headed in a different direction.
And then we told Jim Harbaugh that we wanted to massage his legs with warm milk while we gave Sporano an extension and then we hired the Browns Offensive coordinator. I am failing to see a reason to be positive with (I repeat) a crap QB, no Rbs, a pourous O-line and a Offensive coordinator that ran one of the worse offenses in the NFL and I said to myself, wow… Brandon Marshall is going to be UNHAPPY and that will cause complete chaos inside the organization (ask Ricky Williams).

If this guy was breaking down film & working with receivers & QB’s in N.E. when they won 3 rings, I say give him a chance, and hopefully Mr. Ross will give him the talent to mold this into a great offense.

Lots of Complacency..Side Steps..and no Forward Moves
I am glad that all of you are so complacent after the debacle of last season with Daboll. Was this hire what all of you expected??? I bet a not!!! Yet we are going to ..AGAIN..put our faith in Ross and …AGAIN…believe that we are heading down the path of a winning season. So, I will certainly follow the crowd, just so I don’t come off as the depicted negative fan that I have been made out to be.
But I am saving all of your positive ..Rah Rah Rah postings on every weird and awkward move The Fins have made and we will have a show and tell and " I Told You So"….somewhere around mid-season. If I am wrong..then I will keep my mouth shut, and give all of you Props. But until then, this team has shown me nothing but side steps and no forward moves. I really truly hope that I am wrong.
I am one to wait and see what happens
In yesterday’s post, I stated that Daboll’s kind of offense fits into TS philosophy. The biggest concern I have is not getting someone to help TS manage the game, a proven strategist, so to speak. While I think we have an improvement over Henning, I can understand some of the people’s doubts about this hire, but with the right additions, I think he has a chance to turn our offense around.

I'm not sure which direction to go about this one.
I’m all for giving the guy a chance to prove he can be an effective OC in the NFL given more talent, but at the same time I wonder whether we made this move prematurely and it seemed a bit rushed. I would have liked them to have waited till after the season and looked at some of the potential candidates from playoff teams like Tom Clements, Bill Musgrave, or even Ken Anderson.
The one question I have for all those excited about the Daboll signing is this:
His specialty is supposed to be being able to coach up QBs. So if/when the FO doesn’t draft a QB in the first round and decides to stick with Henne as the starter because Daboll feels he can coach him up. Will you still be as excited?

just one question??
what’s a four receiver set??? it’s been so long I don’t remember lol. hey i’m on board with giving the guy a chance. hell , a blind chipmunk could find more offensive nuts than henning.hopefully the f o will open the pocketbook and get us some personel to use in a younger , less conservitive offense.
I mean its just math really ...
If you send 2 receivers out on a route, and the defense brings 6 guys, they can double cover one receiver and triple cover the other receiver. And you have to try to block a OLB with a RB. Does anyone else see the insanity behind all of this? Do we wonder why he sat back there forever and couldn’t seem to find an open receiver, or wound up throwing it into triple coverage?

Hey...
When is the team supposed to actually confirm this? It usually takes about a day…. Didn’t Lombardi also report that we offered Harbaugh $7-8mil/year which we apparently never did offer?

Up for some constructive criticism, Matty?
I’ve noticed a pattern in your posts (and confirmed it by a quick look through your past posts).
You love to very aggressively tell people to relax and mock them for overreacting. “Grow the hell up” or “find another team to root for” for example. It can come across as very patronizing and superior.
And since past examples of you doing this (or similar things) include Chad Henne, Dan Henning, Ted Ginn and Pat White, maybe you should approach situations like this with a little more humility in your opinions.
I personally would think you would be better off excising the mocking and patronizing. It only distracts from what otherwise could be a very valid point you are making.
Beware!

New OC
News out of Miami keeps getting depressing. I thought things were bad with Dave WHINEstedt and Cam Can’t Win Cameron as coaches, and with QBs like Freaky Frerotte & A.J. Touchy-Feeley! Now we’re taking Cleveland’s castoffs! After being a Dolphin since 1970, I never thought I would say it, but I might have to start pulling for some other team, or teams. What happened since Shula’s and Marino’s retirements? It’s like there isn’t a “moon over Miami” anymore, it’s a “curse over Miami” doth say the raven evermore!
if one more person says "i think im gonna switch teams" or "how has it come to THIS" or "im ashamed to be a fan of this team"

I don't get the optimism with this guy
you say he had A LOT less talent than we had. But what he did have in Cleveland was a good, versatile running back, and some speed at WR. The QB play wasn’t very good, so the whole “QB Guru” thing is up in the air. And I don’t think any coach is going to help Henne, so regardless of how good of a QB coach he is, we need a new QB. If that QB is good, Daboll will get credit. If that QB sucks, he’ll get blamed. But he won’t make that big of a difference, the QB has to be good.
And I’m sorry, but I have a problem being optimistic when we bring in a guy who is at best, unproven, and at worst, a younger Dan Henning (similar production in a similar offensive situation). I’ll give him a chance to prove himself, because I don’t have a choice, and I don’t have a say in the matter, but I’m not “jumping for joy” hopeful, because he doesn’t have the track record to inspire much hope.
As for the “give him a chance or go root for another team,” I’ll just disagree there. I’m so sick of mediocrity, he has to prove that he deserves praise before I heap it on him simply because he’s the newest Dolphins coach. Until then, call me cautious, indifferent, and not very happy.

Nobody is telling you to heap praise on him.
What I am saying is that he should be given a fair chance. Instead, the majority of Dolphin fans have been ridiculously unfair to the man already – and he hasn’t even officially been named the coordinator.
Cautious and indifferent seems like a pretty fair reaction. But the outrage by some since the reports broke of Daboll’s hiring has been just insane.
well
I think the outrage comes from the simple fact that we replaced a guy who ran one of the worst offenses in the NFL with a guy who ran one of the only offenses that was worse than ours. Calling that an upgrade, on the surface, sounds ludicrous. Sure, the more in depth you get, the more you can see some positives, but the initial reaction is that we somehow found a way to downgrade from Dan Henning.
So I don’t think the outrage has been insane, I think it’s a culmination of the botched HC situation, including an extension for a Coach many of us thought should be fired, and it all came to a head when we signed Daboll, who wasn’t on anyone’s published short list as far as I know, and didn’t have any success as an OC in Cleveland. I can understand the criticism, not at Daboll, but at the organization for making what many feel are sideways moves, and for all the talk of Ross wanting a wide-open, exciting offense, this doesn’t vibe with that rhetoric.

Little Nicky I usually agree with you but
I’m with Matty on this. Its not a sexy hire to get us all worked up, but h*ll people were complaining about going the “savior” with the HC just to get a big name. Where is the line?
We try to get the big name name, he suppose to come here and “save us”. We get a up and comer" and he is not good enough. When was the last time Cleveland really had the talent to succeed anyway? H*ll even Belichick couldn’t even do anything there.
Its just that even I gave Ted Ginn a chance and saw him play before I bashed him. People don’t have to be excited over the hire, but they don’t have bash the f*ck out of him either. Lets see what kinda offense he is gonna run down here before we start trashing him.
Everyone deserves a chance.

I agree with you
I’m not outraged over it, but I can understand why some fans are. All the talk of Cowher, Gruden, Harbaugh, and we get Sparano again, and what amounts to Cleveland’s leftovers. I’m sure he could be a very good OC, but I’m also sure he could suck. The key word there is “could.” I have no idea which will be true, and nobody else does, but on the surface, like I said, it doesn’t look like an “up and comer,” it looks like a guy who was outperformed by the guy we just let go..
It’s not a sexy hire, or a big name, but he doesn’t inspire a huge amount of confidence either IMO.

Eh

I dunno about that. We had loads of more talent on offense here in Miami and he had to work with what, four starting QBs (mostly starting a rookie in most games)?
but he doesn’t inspire a huge amount of confidence either
I doubt BB inspired a huge amount of confidence in NE after leaving the Browns either. I’m with you, I’m not inspired either. But I learned last year just because I am inspired and have high hopes doesn’t mean I’m gonna win anymore games.
I told you all, I’m in whatever mode. OK they hired the guy lets see what he does. I will officially go into pissed off mode if they sign CP to another QB contract.

I’m not saying he sucks, I’m just saying he hasn’t proven that he does or doesn’t suck, and his resume from 2010 suggests the former.

Funny title for the article.....
I’m willing to give him a chance. I’m open to anything at this point.
I still dont get the vitriolic comments on Ireland.
Dabsby, Incognito, Wake, Nolan….etc. WTF? The guy seems to have some talent!
as for Henne….If the QB hits the receiver in the numbers and they drop it……kick the QB in the nuts?
When the QB starts to smoke and the OC changes his rhythm with the ‘wildcat’, or other lame running schemes…kick the QB in the nuts?
I’m not saying Henne is great…as I can’t tell because of the above, and more! Just consider he hasn’t even played 2 full seasons, and those were under Henning and those idiotic plays. That being said…I don’t believe we can gamble on Henne with Cam and Ryan on board! If both are there at 15 I leave it up to Ireland to evaluate the situation.
However, the 3rd round is HUGE! Shifting Incognito…etc is BS! Incognito and the others need to play their positions. I believe our next biggest need is a Center. Correct me if I am wrong, but Kristofer O’Dowd is a diamond in the ruff, and he will be there.

Hoping this will be a change for the best...
Being one Dolfan supporting Tony Sparano 100%, I put my trust on the decision to bring Daboll to the team. Offense must change for the better, especially at the QB position and it seems Daboll knows about that. May he bring the “explosive” offense the owner and most fans would like to have. Hopefully, Chad Pennington will be back healthy to make 2011 even better than 2008.
Frustrfated Fan
I’ve been a Dolphin fan for 34 of my 44 years of existence and i fail to understand why a Tropical location can’t field a contending team. The Dolphin organization has frustrated the hell out of me for years in their decision making. The Dolphins should be contending for a championship every year. We have a coach w/only 3 years experience all with the dolphins and now we go out and hire an OC Who was w/Cleveland and one of the worst offenses in the league last year. If i had only one thing to say to Mr. Ross it would this, go out and get Bill Cowher and give him what ever the hell he wants. The way things are going the Detroit Lions will win the Super Bowl before the Dolphins will. Signed Frustrated as hell fan!!!!!

I think it's gonna go down like this
it’s not looking like Cowher will coach this year. he looks like he is waiting for the right opportunity, so he’ll probably be available next year. If Sparano fails again this coming season, I doubt Ross with think twice about firing him (immediately this time) and going after someone like Cowher.
It’s sorta a win-win, with a possible loss in the middle.

The reason Cowher didn’t come to Miami is because he wanted to bring his own personnel and Ross said no. I think if Miami gave him what he wants he would come and turn things around!!
yep, of this i am aware
but my point is that nolan is the only guy really worth saving… but Ross would probably be willing to let Cowher do a complete house cleaning if there is another losing season

Yea your right, I’m just mad as hell because i keep seeing teams that were bad for so long become championship contenders and Miami remains mediocre. The last time they one the Super Bowl i was 6 years old and didn’t even know about football then. I’ve seen them play in two Super Bowls in the Marino era and get crushed in both. I don’t have the patients anymore. Lets just say they make it to the playoffs next year, that’s not good enough we need Super Bowl wins and i’m not sold on this coaching staff. It’s great talking to ya, Left coast fin fan’s a cool name by the way, talk to ya later.
i hear ya man!
